Saddlebred Raffle to Benefit Youth Set to Offer $20,000 Among Winners

Lexington, Kentucky - Tickets are now available for the annual Saddlebred Raffle, with winners to be drawn during the week of the Kentucky State Fair World's Championship Horse Show (WCHS), set to take place beginning Sunday, August 22, through Saturday, August 28, at Freedom Hall in Louisville.

The raffle is one of the American Saddlebred Horse Association's (ASHA) most important fund-raisers, as it will provide $20,000 toward ASHA Youth Scholarships and Youth Programs. To date, ASHA has given more than $300,000 toward youth scholarships, so whether purchasing a raffle ticket as an individual, or pooling resources with others to purchase one or more tickets, all proceeds not awarded in prize money will allow ASHA to continue to provide these scholarships, as well as fund other ASHA Youth Programs.

Only 400 tickets are sold worldwide, at $100 each, for gross proceeds of $40,000. Of that total, $20,000 will go toward ASHA Youth Scholarships and Programs, and $20,000 will go to winners in cash prizes. The Grand Prize is $5,000, with two prizes of $2,500 each, one prize each of $2,000 and $1,500, three prizes of $1,000 each, and seven prizes of $500.

The names of the 15 lucky winners will be drawn at 2:30 PM, on the afternoon of Thursday, August 26, in Crowne Room A of the Crowne Plaza. Ticket holders need not be present to win. Later that evening, during WCHS in Freedom Hall, the lucky winners or their representatives will draw for their actual prizes.

Tickets can be purchased and paid for by phone, by contacting ASHA at (859) 259-2742, and also by contacting the following Ambassadors:
